LOS ANGELES: John Cena doesn’t believe in ego. How could he when he’s used to tens of thousands of WWE fans chanting “John Cena sucks” every time he walks out to the ring?
It’s a philosophy that’s helped him survive both the demands of professional wrestling, where he was never supposed to be a success, and now Hollywood, where he’s made a miraculous comeback from some terrible films in the earlier 2000s. In the past three years, Cena has become a reliable highlight of whatever project he’s in, whether as a boyfriend who bares it all in “Trainwreck,” or even as a military man with some great one-liners in a big budget Transformers movie like “Bumblebee,” which hits theaters Friday.
“I’m not afraid to fall on my face, I’m not afraid to look ridiculous,” Cena said on a recent afternoon in Los Angeles.
Cena wasn’t looking for a franchise, or an action film to do when the script for “Bumblebee” came across his desk. But then he read it and found a sweet story about a misfit teenage girl (played by Hailee Steinfeld) and a robot that was more E.T. than Michael Bay, and decided it was something he wanted to do.
“I was like ‘I’ll be Bumblebee’s spare tire, I don’t even care,’” Cena said. “I wanted to do something in the movie.”
